The new International Occupational

Health & Safety Management System
Why its better for your organization
ISO/DIS 45001, Occupational Health & Safety (OH&S) management system will be the worlds first OH&S
international standard which will help thousands of organizations to provide a safe and healthy workplace for
their workers and other people, prevent deaths, work-related injury and ill-health and to continually improve
its OH&S performance.
The new standard, due to for final publication in late 2016, will include a number of key changes bringing the
following new benefits:

Bringing health and safety and continuous Introduction of risk and opportunity
improvement into the heart of your business management
ISO/DIS 45001 is an opportunity for organizations to align
their strategic direction with their OH&S management system
and increase focus on improving occupational health and
safety performance. Being recognized globally, the standard
will ensure that your customers will understand how OH&S is
managed across the business.
Leadership
The introduction of risk and opportunity management into
the occupational health and safety management system
now reinforces its use as a governance tool and will enable
the identification of opportunities that contribute to further
improvement in OH&S performance and improved worker
safety. Organizations will improve their ability to identify
and manage risks more effectively across the whole system,
making it more resilient.

There is a greater focus on top management to demonstrate

leadership and commitment with respect to the management
system and to ensure active participation of workers in
the development, planning, implementation and continual
improvement of the OH&S management system. Top
management have a responsibility to ensure that the
importance of effective OH&S management is communicated
and understood by all parties and ensuring that the OH&S
management system achieves its intended outcomes.
An integrated approach
ISO/DIS 45001 is based on Annex SL the new ISO high
level structure (HLS) that brings a common framework to all
management systems. This helps to keep consistency, align
different management system standards, offer matching
sub-clauses against the top-level structure and apply common
language across all standards. With the new standard in place,
organizations will find it easier to incorporate their OH&S
management system into the core business processes and get
more involvement from senior management.
